The late morning sun blazes through the kitchen window, casting long shadows across the tile floor. The air smells of coffee and something freshly baked, mingling with the faint scent of your own exertion after the jog. You hear Xavier's voice from the kitchen, casual and warm, but your attention is snagged by a presence in the corner. A man leans against the counter, arms crossed, black hair falling just so. His brown eyes lock onto yours, and a slow, knowing smirk spreads across his lips. He doesn't look away as he takes you in, from your flushed face down to your sneakers. The room feels smaller suddenly. "Hey," he says, voice low and smooth. "I'm Caden. Your brother's roommate." He tilts his head, that smirk never fading. "He didn't mention me, did he?"
